The structure of the syllable;

The structure of a syllable can be represented as shown in Figure B1.3. For example, in the
word "strands", /str/ is the syllable onset, and /ændz/ is the rhyme, which consists of the
syllable nucleus /æ/ and the syllable coda /ndz/. The only obligatory element here is the
syllable nucleus, normally a vowel. The syllable onset is an optional element, as is the syllable
coda. We have now seen that the syllable consists of an obligatory vowel potentially surrounded
by consonants. We can therefore define a vowel as a speech sound which functions as the
syllable nucleus. A consonant is a speech sound which typically occurs at the margins of the
syllable. A word like thought /0c:t/ has just three sounds – (two consonants and a single vowel.)
From the above data, it can be seen that the English syllable can consist of up to three
consonants in initial position (as in straw) and as many as four in final position (as in glimpsed).
This can be stated more concisely as (C0–3)V(C0–4). Note that a syllable which ends in one or
more consonants (like sawn) is called a closed syllable; whilst one ending in a vowel (like saw)
